Installation
1 Determining the mounting
location
NOTE:
mounted higher than recommended, aiming the sensor
down will reduce the coverage area.
□Determine the mounting location – wall or eave
mount.
□Position the lamp heads (A) in the general
direction of the desired light coverage.
Wall Mount
Eave Mount
3 Making the electrical
connections
□Connect the white wire of the xture to the white
wire from the junction box with wire nut(DD).
□Connect the black wire of the xture to the black
wire from the junction box with wire nut(DD).
2 Installing the mounting bracket
WARNING: Turn the power off at the circuit breaker or
fuse. Place tape over the circuit breaker switch and verify
NOTE: Four mounting bracket screws of various sizes are
included. The installation will only require two. Discard the
unused mounting bracket screws after installation.
□
□Install the mounting bracket (FF) with the
stamped word “FRONT” facing away from
the junction box. Use the mounting bracket
box. If necessary, use the screws that were

And then tighten the mounting bolt (EE) securely
through the center of the mounting plate (FF).
Do not over tighten.
□Push the rubber plug (AA) rmly into the
mounting bolt hole on the light xture (B).
5 Caulking around the light

Operation
1 Adjusting the lamp heads
WARNING:
□Turn the power on at the circuit breaker or fuse
and turn on the wall switch.
□If needed, gently grasp the lamp heads (A) and
tilt them up or down or side to side to adjust
the light coverage area.
2 Setting the sensor for testing
NOTE: When the “Test / Timer” control is set to the “Test”
night. The light will stay on for 5~8 seconds after all motion
is stopped.
□Turn the “TIMER MINUTES” control to the “Test”
position. And the indicator will ash 6 times.
□Turn the “SENSITIVITY” control to the position
you want.
NOTE: The motion sensor will need to completely warm
up (30 seconds) before beginning the setup process.
3 Adjusting the motion sensor
detection zone
□Perform a “walk test”: walk in an arc across
the front of the motion sensor (C).
□Watch the light. The light will come on and the
detected.
□Stop, wait for the light to turn off, and then
begin walking again.
□Continue this process until the detection zone
has been established.
□If needed, gently grasp the motion sensor (C)
and move it from side to side or up and down
to adjust the detection zone.
□To ensure the motion sensor work properly,
please keep the marking "THIS SIDE UP" on
the motion sensor up.
□It's recommended to keep the motion sensor
tilt angle within 40° under daily usage.

Operation (continued)
4 Adjusting the SENSITIVITY
control
□To increase the sensitivity, turn the “SENSITIVITY”
control counterclockwise.
□To decrease the sensitivity, turn the “SENSITIVITY”
control clockwise.
NOTE: The motion sensor (C) is more sensitive to motion
moving across the front of the sensor. The motion sensor
(C) is less sensitive to motion moving directly toward the
front of the sensor.
NOTE: The higher the “SENSITIVITY” setting, the greater
the possibility of false triggering. To reduce false
triggering, please choose the sensitivity you need.
5 Adjusting the TIMER control
NOTE: The "TIMER MINUTES" control determines the
amount of time the light will stay on full bright after all
motion has stopped. And if you turn to "D2D" position, it will
be a dusk to dawn (night time) light.
□After all adjustments are complete, turn the
“TIMER MINUTES” control clockwise and select
a time 1/5/10 minutes. The light will only work
at night after a time has been selected.
□If you turn the "TIMER MINUTES" to "D2D"
position, it will be a dusk to dawn (night time) light.
The motion detection will be off, and the light will
be always on at night, will turn off in the day time.

□Daylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect. □Recheck after dark.
□The circuit wiring is incorrect (if this is
a new installation).
□Verify the wiring is correct.
□The motion sensor is aimed in the
wrong direction.
□Re-aim the motion sensor
to cover the desired area.
The light comes on during the
day.
□The motion sensor may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
□
normally under these
circumstances.
□The “Test / Timer” control is in the
“Test” position.
□Set the “TIMER MINUTES”
control to a timed setting.
The light comes on for no
apparent reason.

other heat sources.
□Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
□The “SENSITIVITY” control is set too
high.
□Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting.
□The outside temperature is much
warmer or cooler than a person’s body
heat (summer or winter).
□Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting.
